Preheat oven to 350°F Combine noodles, cottage cheese, sour cream. salt, pepper and chives. Pour into buttered 2 quart casserole and dot with the 1 tablespoon butter.
Bake about 30 minutes, until noodles begin to brown and casserole is hot and bubbly. Serve immediately.
See notes below for important notes. I increase the cheese and sour cream and decrease the noodles!
